What Dynamics GP integration covers

Microsoft describes Dynamics GP, still often called Great Plains, as a business management solution for small and mid-sized organizations. Integration connects GP to the systems your customers and sales team use, so an order taken on the web or a customer created in the CRM doesn't have to be typed into GP again. Clarity Connect moves those records in both directions, either as they happen or on a schedule.

Records synced with Dynamics GP

  • Customers
  • Sales orders and invoices
  • Inventory items
  • Quantities on hand
  • Customer payments
  • Order and shipping status
  • Customer-specific pricing

How Clarity Connect works with GP

GP's standard integration layer is eConnect. It moves data in and out of GP as XML documents, each defined by a published schema, and processes them through business objects that run as SQL Server stored procedures on the GP server. Developers can reach it through .NET, the stored procedures, MSMQ or BizTalk, and its Outgoing Service can publish a document to a queue when a record changes in GP.

Microsoft also ships Web Services for Microsoft Dynamics GP, which was still receiving patches in November 2024. Dynamics GP is one of the ERP connectors built into Clarity eCommerce.

How a GP integration runs

Each flow is its own task

Orders to GP, customers to GP, items and quantities to the store: each is a separate Connect task with its own timing. Orders usually run in real time and catalog updates on a schedule, and the dashboard shows each queue so you can drill into any transaction.

Nothing lost when GP is offline

When GP is offline for maintenance or an update, Connect's asynchronous design means nothing in transit is dropped: jobs wait in a retry queue and run when GP is back, and staff can re-queue a job by hand once a problem is fixed.

GP behind your firewall

When GP runs on your own servers, Connect sits on the same network and only makes outbound calls to the store or portal, so neither the GP database nor eConnect is exposed to the internet.

Dynamics GP's end of support

Microsoft will end Dynamics GP support on December 31, 2029 for product enhancements, tax updates and technical support, and security updates will be available until April 30, 2031. April 1, 2026 was the last day new customers could license GP by subscription. Microsoft is encouraging GP customers to move to Dynamics 365 Business Central.

That leaves GP users a few years of support and a migration to plan. An integration built now can be designed so the store and CRM side survives the move, with only the ERP connection changing to Business Central's API. Our Dynamics 365 integration page covers Business Central.

How Clarity Connect runs it

Clarity Connect is Clarity's integration platform, used for more than 3,000 integrations. It keeps a persistent, two-way connection between GP and every system linked to it, and each task runs live or on a schedule you set. Connect queues and scheduled tasks run on Hangfire, with a dashboard that shows queue counts and individual transactions.

How a Clarity Connect project runs

  1. Discovery

    A Clarity business analyst documents the data fields and workflows each system can share and which ones you need.

  2. Tasks and mapping

    Each flow becomes a Connect task, such as orders to the ERP or stock to the store, set to run in real time or on a schedule.

  3. Testing

    Orders and updates are run end to end, including the return trip of statuses back to the customer-facing system.

  4. Live, with a dashboard

    Queues and scheduled tasks show in Connect's Hangfire dashboard. A job whose target is offline is retried 10 times, every 30 minutes, and can be re-queued once the cause is fixed.

Clarity Connect is sold as a SaaS subscription at $599 a month or as a one-time license at $15,000 with no ongoing fees, and larger projects are priced to scope. See pricing.
